 Two American kids growin' up in the heartland

A                   E      D                E
 Suckin' on a chili dog outside Tastee Freez

 Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap
             D                     A
He's got his hand between her knees

 Jacky say, "Hey Diane,
               D                E
lets run off behind a shady tree
A                  E
 Dribble off those Bobby Brooks

Let me do what I please" say

 Oh yeah,  life goes on

 Jacky sits back,
E             D                  E
 collects his thoughts for the moment
A                  E             D              A
 Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
A                  E
 "Well then, there Diane,
         D             E
ought to run off the city

 Let the Bible belt come and save my soul
A           D          G              D
 Hold on to sixteen as long as you can

Make us women and men
